noun ·Rare ·Advanced level
Definitions
- 1 An amalgam of composites; a combination of elements that are themselves combinations.
"It is against this background, where a need for simplicity can already be detected, that Kraepelin brought about his supreme effort of synthesis by reducing the multifarious field of simple and composite psychoses to what can be called 'the two supercomposite insanities', dementia praecox and manic-depressive insanity."
- 2 A model of subatomic particles that combines supersymmetry with the study of composite particles.
"Supersymmetry and compositeness can be combined to yield supercomposite models, which are characterized by two different energy scales: Ms, where supersymmetry breaking occurs, and Mc, the scale of compositeness."
- 3 Any of several high-performance structural composite materials.
"In a supercomposite, SC (n >2), on the other hand, a mono/multi-phase matrix can be reinforced by single or composite fibre/particle complex phases to impart non-structural properties also, such as heat resistance, for example."
